AT the time of my first arrival in the
country "A difficulty was anticipated in a
certain station (which / will not name).
owing to n scarcity of carriers, and the
chief thought it better to put every one
on short allowance. Among other rations
Portuguese wine was issued at the rate of
half II bottle per man per day. Each man
had TO send his boy to the store with
his bottle every other day, and of course
there was n rush for the big bottles. The
storekeeper, instructed by the chief, re-
fused everything larger than a champagne
bottle, and ms the second officer in charge
Of the station superintendent the issuing
OF the rations in person, there was no
chance for any man to get more than his
share. This did not please the engineers,
who decided, at n council held in the
messroom of the Stanley, that half a
bottle per day was not enough, and forth
with n collection Of empty bottles began
to accumulate In the engineers store, and
experiments were instituted to find out
whether the capacity OF any one of them
exceeded that of the rest, but with very
unsatisfactory results.
At last some suggested the device of
blowing out the bulge in the bottom OF
the bottle SO as to leave It nearly fiat. No
sooner said than done. Not only was the
bottom iHttened, but 1t was found posi-
BILE by means OF heat to slightly stretch
the bottle itself, SO that, although It ap-
peared very little larger than an ordinary
champagne bottle, 1t would hold nearly
half us much again. The trick remained
undiscovered until the engineers had all
finished their term of service, when the
Ingenious deviser of the same, being the
last to depart for Europe, left his bottle
to the second in command, with a hint to
keep his eyes open for the future, BLACK

R4rEs or
IN A QUANDARY.

Deadwood, OAK, has long sighed for
railroad communication with the outer
world. It's natural surroundings tended
to isolate it, while its inaccessibilitY made
the picturesque but sedate method of To-
comUtion known as bull teaming a neces-
sity of its commerce. The result was
naturally high prices for the necessities Of
life. Deadwood's day of deliverance is
now at hand, but strangely
enough she is scarcely able to
take advantage OF it. The town
is situated in the heart of the Black hills,
SO deeply imbedded in the Deadwood
gulch that the sun does not appear above
the hill tops much before s O'Clock in
midsummer, and disappears over the
opposite hills about 3 O'Clock in the after
noon. The town consists of one long
street and one short parallel thoroughiare.
-Four different corporations are now
struggling for the exclusive right of way
through the town, and il any of them is
granted the privilege the question of
where the town can be conveniently
slowed away without impeding railroad
traffic or making the population victims
of a modern Juggernaut, unable to find
safety on either side of the track, is one
of obirusive public importance. The city
council has got far enough to refuse to
grant the right of way to one corporation
but ii must either give up all hope Of
railroad communications ..or make some
concessions to the other three, which are
now wildly clamoring for recognition.
Deadwood is a strange town in many
respects outside of its physical features.
The county in which it is located has a
debt Of 5000 0oD hanging over it, and in
the way Of public buildings is recompensed
by a log jail aud court house. recklessly
valued at $3.50. Just now, however, all
other questions sink into lnsignificance
compared with the great railroad problem.
A tunnel or an elevated road might
bridge the difficulty.

Edison says: ''Whsn resting from pro-
lopged work upon light, my brain re-

out more clearly and distinctly than the
best telephone message ever sent. The
tones OF the voice ia the two phono-
graphs which | have finished, are so per-
fectly rendered that one can distinguish
between twenty different persons, each
one of whom has said a few words. One
tremendous advantage is that the letter
way be repeated thousand times.
''The phonogram does not wear out by
use. Moreover it may be filed away for
a hundred years and be ready for the III
slant it ia needed. If man dictates
his will to phonograph there will be no
dissuting the authenticity of the docu
raent with those who knew the tones OF
his voice in life. The cost Of making the
monograph will be scarcely more than
the cost of ordinary letter paper. The
machine will read out letter or mes
cage at the same speed with which it was
dictated.
Edison has also experimental with de-
vice to enable printers to set type dI-
rectly from the dictation of the phone
graph, lie claims great precision in re-
peating orchestral performances, so that
the characteristic tones of all the instru-
raents may be distinguished.
